> AFAIK there is no native GCC compiler for Windows

might want to check your facts before spouting nonsense. there is, and has been for many, many years. more than one in fact:

https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw

https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-gcc

https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/release/...

??? Those are MinGW LLVM/Clang, MinGW GCC, and Cygwin GCC, respectively. I don't count either as truly native Windows, like I said earlier -- Cygwin certainly isn't.

You are really showing your ignorance. Any cygwin packages marked mingw64 do not rely on the cygwin DLL for build time or run time.
